#CustomerIntent: As an Azure administrator, I want learn about IP flow verify so I can use it to check the security rules applied on the VMs to confirm if traffic is allowed or denied.

IP flow verify returns **Access denied** or **Access allowed**, the name of the security rule that denies or allows the traffic, and the network security group with a link to it so you can edit it if you need to. It doesn't provide a link if a default security rule is denying or allowing the traffic. For more information, see [Default security rules](../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md#default-security-rules).

To use IP flow verify, you need to a Network Watcher instance in the Azure subscription and region of the virtual machine and have the necessary permissions to access the feature. For more information, see [Enable or disable Azure Network Watcher](network-watcher-create.md) and [RBAC permissions required to use Network Watcher capabilities](required-rbac-permissions.md).
